linda92 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Hello all. I am not a terrier owner but I am very fond of them. I am very interested in witnessing a working terrier hunt. First of all, is one even allowed to spectate? How would I go about finding a hunt? Any links? Any advice, how ever small would be greatly appreciated as I have never witnessed a real working terrier before. Edited March 6, 2009 by linda92 Quote Link to post
threbb 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hello all. I am not a terrier owner but I am very fond of them. I am very interested in witnessing a working terrier hunt - although I'm not sure whether "hunt" is the correct term. First of all, is one even allowed to spectate? How would I go about finding a hunt? Any links? Any advice, how ever small would be greatly appreciated as I have never witnessed a real working terrier before. Try reading about it first.A good book seller is www.readcountrybooks.com A good book is Hunt and working terriers by Joclyn Lucas now in reprint. Quote Link to post

linda92 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Okay, thanks, I have sent of for the book by Jocelyn Lucas and will look for others. I was just advised that the best way to get into working terriers would be to watch them in action and talk to owners. But i'll definatly do a lot of reading before I even think about it again.

Terrie 12 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 A wee bit strange do you not think i mean on the first day you join and this is the first question you ask??? If you are into this kind of thing you must know other people who are into it too eh? Terrie Quote Link to post
lataza2001 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Didn't you read the IMPORTANT INFO at the top of the page? LOL Quote Link to post
linda92 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 RE Terrie : I joined to ask this question. If you think that is a bit strange, then I apologise for thinking that this was the place to ask for advice. not everyone interested is going to be an “antiâ€, some of us are honestly interested in witnessing REAL WORK.

Terrie 12 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 what do you mean by that post linda? all i was saying is that its a strange question to ask. Quote Link to post
linda92 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Apologies Terrie. Like I said, I have no first hand experience with working terriers, therefore I wasn’t aware that this was a strange question. Linda Quote Link to post
